"Poland Needs Two Insurance Policies": Sikorski Backs Halicki

Michał Olech

- I am very pleased today to support the campaign of Andrzej Halicki, until recently my boss, the head of the Polish delegation in the European Parliament. Andrzej, you know how dramatic the choices in the EP sometimes are, when it comes to the composition of the European Commission, the EU's defense budget. All those decisions, in which important coalitions are formed with other parties in the EP. The EP today is the place where the most important decisions are made, that's where real politics is happening, which supports our lives and also the security of Europe - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press briefing.

- We have a war on our borders, Poland needs two insurance policies. The first, of course, is transatlantic, but the second is European. How much money we allocate to military mobility, rapid reaction forces, to ammunition for fighting Ukraine, to support for Ukraine, to the process of preparing Ukraine and Moldova for membership, these are all decisions that the EP can approve or reject. That is why we must have people there who are knowledgeable, who can negotiate the best solutions for Poland, and Andrzej Halicki is undoubtedly such a person - the Minister of Foreign Affairs continued.
